Chapter 31 The Fake Daughter of a Prominent Family
"Come in quickly, it's getting a bit cold."
Su Youran held Ye Jiuzhou with her left hand and Huo Zhenxun with her right hand and were about to go in.
By pulling the sleeves, of course.
Ye Jiuzhou immediately took her hand in his and interlaced their fingers. He glanced coldly at Huo Zhenxun, then took Su Youran's hand and walked into the carved gate of the Su Mansion.
Huo Zhenxun watched the hand slowly slip down his sleeve, and after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but grab it before the soft and smooth little hand was completely released.
Su Youran had to stop and Ye Jiuzhou turned around and looked at her with a cold look in his eyes, as if stirring up a storm.
Huo Zhenxun met Su Youran's puzzled gaze and smiled softly. He stretched out his other hand to lift up the cardigan that was about to fall off her shoulders.
"It's going to fall off."
Su Youran nodded blankly and was about to reach out to sort things out, but her left hand was held by Ye Jiuzhou and her right hand was held by Huo Zhenxun, so she had no hands to use.
"kindness……"
She hesitated a little, looked around, and moved her right hand unconsciously.
Ye Jiuzhou saw it and put on a smile, but his eyes were still dark:
"Mr. Huo, you don't seem to understand the principle of keeping a distance from someone else's fiancée?"
Huo Zhenxun's eyes darkened for a moment, he let go of the tender hand in his hand, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"Sorry, I'm used to taking care of the young lady."
Su Youran couldn’t help but laugh, “Why are you calling me Miss again?”
Ye Jiuzhou held both of Su Youran's hands in his and rubbed them as if to warm her up, but he spoke to Huo Zhenxun:
"Things are different now. Now that Young Master Huo has returned to the Huo family, it would be better for him to forget his old habits. After all, his 'identity' is different now."
She is no longer your lady, but my fiancée.
Ye Jiuzhou stared at Huo Zhenxun with cold eyes: "I hope Young Master Huo will remember this."
Huo Zhenxun's expression was calm, even with a hint of joy: "No matter how our identities change, the time we spent together will never change."
I accompanied her through life in a foreign country where she was unfamiliar with the environment. I took care of her and protected her. Can you just erase the friendship that I have had with her for several years?
It's too overbearing and too naive.
The curvature of Ye Jiuzhou's mouth remained unchanged, and his knife-like face was calm and composed:
"Time will fade, and memories will slowly fade away. People should always look forward. It is not a good thing to dwell on the past."
His tone was indifferent, as if he didn't take the man opposite him seriously at all.
Huo Zhenxun's smile disappeared, and his handsome face looked like an ice sculpture. Ye Jiuzhou had just hit his sore spot.
Ever since returning to China, Huo Zhenxun has felt that the distance between him and Su Youran has been growing. He is afraid that there will no longer be a place for him by her side. He is even more afraid that she will slowly ignore him until she forgets him...
There was a flash of sarcasm in Ye Jiuzhou's eyes. So why were they all no match for him and yet they kept jumping in front of him?
Do you really think he has a good temper?
Except for the one in his arms, no one else could remain unharmed after provoking him.
Just as he was thinking this, the one in his arms twisted his waist hard.
Ye Jiuzhou quickly looked down, and subconsciously put on a flattering smile:
"What's wrong?"
Su Youran ignored him and waved at Huo Zhenxun, who was standing stiffly.
"Let's go, Axun. I think it's time for dinner. My eldest brother asked about you last time."
Huo Zhenxun's expression eased: "I also have something I want to ask Uncle Su and Brother Su for advice."
Ye Jiuzhou held his breath. Who is your uncle? Who is your elder brother? Even if you climb up the pole, you are not as fast as me! How shameless!
But who made the little person in his arms keep twisting the flesh around his waist? Ye Jiuzhou swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Forget it. Ranran is kind-hearted and probably sympathizes with this guy's rough life. I'm afraid he thinks of him as a poor little kid who is bullied.
And after all, we still have a friendship that we have been together for several years...
Ye Jiuzhou snorted inwardly:
"If it doesn't work openly, can't I do it secretly? I don't mind adding more fuel to the fire for the Huo family!"
The three of them, each with their own thoughts, had achieved temporary peace and were about to continue toward the main building.
After entering the gate of Su Mansion, there is a marble-paved path that winds all the way to the entrance of the main building. Although it is called a path, it can actually accommodate a car passing by.
There are still large lawns on both sides of the road, and some flowers and trees are planted.
Suddenly, Ye Jiuzhou paused. He quickly pulled Su Youran behind him and protected her tightly. He looked at the other side of the road and shouted angrily:
“Who’s there!”
Huo Zhenxun also reacted quickly. He took two steps forward and stood next to Ye Jiuzhou, blocking Su Youran tightly.
Su Youran was a little confused. No, this is my home, how could there be any danger?
Ye Jiuzhou didn't think so. There were many people who wanted to bring him down, and he often went in and out of the Su Mansion. Who knows, someone might have plans to attack the Su family.
Why are you doing something sneaky without any bad intention?
He shouted again in the direction of the noise: "Who? Come out!"
The palms of my hands were squeezed with a crackling sound, and the sound was particularly obvious in the quiet yard.
The person over there seemed to be frightened, trembling with fear, and walked out from the trees nearby, trembling.
He was not tall, and looked very thin, and his voice was thin and weak:
"I'm... sorry... I... didn't mean to... move forward..."
Su Youran poked her head out from Ye Jiuzhou's side, frowned slightly and asked, "Are you a servant in this family? What are you responsible for?"
It was a little dark, but not so dark that you couldn't see clearly.
I saw a girl who looked to be in her twenties standing not far in front of me. She was wearing the clothes of a servant of the Su family. The clothes had become a little white due to being washed, and they did not fit her well, as if they were altered from someone else's clothes.
He had a delicate face, but his jaw was somewhat prominent due to his thinness, and he looked timid and a little uneasy.
She stammered, barely able to form a complete sentence:
"Miss... I am... I am... I am... I am... behind... all the time..."
Huo Zhenxun frowned and looked up and down at the person in front of him. Is it her?
What was the name of Aunt Qin's daughter who paid special attention to Ranran? Huo Zhenxun couldn't remember it.
Because he couldn't understand some of Aunt Qin's behaviors, he paid attention to inquiring about her situation when he was at Su's house.
I also took the opportunity to meet the daughter who was said to be closely watched, and it was indeed her.
But wasn't she never allowed to leave the small building behind? Why did she come here again?
There must be something fishy going on between these two people!
Huo Zhenxun looked at Su Youran, who seemed to be thinking carefully about whether there was such a person:
"I saw her in the back. She is the daughter of a man called Aunt Qin."
The person opposite him kept nodding, as if he was about to break his neck: "Yes... yes! My... my mother's surname is... Qin..."
Su Youran touched her chin, looking puzzled. “Which Aunt Qin? I don’t have any impression of her.”
Ye Jiuzhou looked at the opposite side with eyes as sharp as a blade. His steps were unsteady and his arms were so thin that they seemed to break if bent. It was initially determined that he was not threatening.
He held Su Youran's hand again and said coldly, "Go ask Uncle Lin."
The person opposite couldn't help but shudder when she heard this. Her mother had always forbidden her to come to the front, and this time she ran over secretly. If her mother knew about it, she would definitely be in trouble.
At this time, a man ran in from the door, panting and looking panicked:
"Miss, I'm sorry, this is Qin Yiyi. She asked me to bring something for her, and I asked her to wait here. I disturbed you, it's my fault."
A few people looked back and saw that it was Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng was sweating profusely. He wasted a moment, but Qin Yiyi ran into Miss Youran and Mr. Ye. He would probably be severely scolded by his father when he got back.
Su Youran nodded, looking unperturbed. She even had the leisure to tease Lin Sheng:
"It's not a big deal. You don't have to be so nervous. We won't do anything to her."
Lin Sheng lowered his head in hesitation, feeling a little embarrassed. He had some feelings for Qin Yiyi, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of finding a good place for her and bringing her something.
But his father was not very willing, and he had never dared to point it out. Now that Miss Youran pointed it out, besides feeling shy, he also felt a little flustered for some reason.
Su Youran smiled and said to Ye Jiuzhou and Huo Zhenxun, "Let's go. They are indeed family members. Don't worry."
Ye Jiuzhou still protected Su Youran on the other side, preventing her from getting too close to Qin Yiyi.
Huo Zhenxun looked at Qin Yi meaningfully for a long time, until she trembled with fear and almost buried her head in her chest. Then he took big strides and followed her.
As soon as I walked over to Su Youran, I heard her mumbling casually, “Why do I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before?”
Ye Jiuzhou and Huo Zhenxun looked back at the same time. It seemed that they still needed to investigate Qin Yiyi carefully.
Was this encounter intentional or just a coincidence?
Lin Sheng watched the three people enter the main building, then he pulled the still stunned Qin Yiyi to the courtyard wall and comforted her:
"It's okay. Miss Youran is a very nice person. She doesn't blame you."
Qin Yiyi swallowed her saliva. She really felt like her heart almost stopped beating just now, mainly because Mr. Ye was too scary.
His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he almost wanted to scrape off a layer of her skin...
She had never been so scared in her life.
It seems that what my mother said is right. I really can’t come to the front... I was lucky this time and happened to meet Mr. Lin who came back to help explain. It may not be the same next time...
Seeing that she was still panicking, Lin Sheng quickly handed her the thing in his hand, trying to divert her attention:
"Yi Yi, I found what you wanted. Can you take a look at this?"
Qin Yiyi managed to force out a smile that was uglier than crying, and her hands were still shaking as she took the things:
"Thank you, Brother Lin Sheng. It's ok. I'm just taking a look... I really trouble you..."
Lin Sheng waved his hand and looked at the Thousand Characters in her hand: "Do you want to learn to read?"
